You know, I bet if you paint that body from the inside it will be EXTREMELY shiny. I noticed on the clear hood that comes with the supra, the other side thats not painted is Shiny. Can anyone with more knowlege then I verify this?

painting from the inside should look awersome
I don't really like the full look becose you loose all curves of the body. I have already see someone that paint half of it and just leave the engin bay clear..
anyway good luck

Yes, The Tamiya Supra and Tamiya R32 (only 2 i know of) both come with clear hoods. It doesnt make any difference in the finish if you paint it on the top. Just make sure you put the hood on when you paint it so the color is even.

very nice schnitzermann!
Only thing I wonder, if you paint from inside, won't the ejector markings be clearly viewable and won't the sandpaper to take off molding lines scratch the surface, making this impossible ?
I really would like to see it naked (well, see-through) , looks very nice!
Anyways just my two cents.

Yup, I was thinking of painting one from the inside but the ejector marks get in the way. It's not as bad when you leave it clear, because then it's definitely a 'model'; when you're trying to convince people it's a real paintjob ejector pin marks give it away.
I've done the kit, goes well together...my pictures are in the gallery.

He shouted because you'd be so luck to have a supra clear hood.
Chances 1 in a million.

I donīt know, this kit was meant to take place in my humble collection. Itīs a limited issue so that makeīs it very special. But I have ideas of airbrush it and leave some unpainted spots where the interesting details can been seen.

That's how I'd do it. Maybe even indeed paint it clear red (not all of it). Or maybe solid red over imperfections (like mold lines and ejection pin marks, clear red right around it and leave the rest unpainted. Choices ...

V. nice. Those are becoming quite hard to get hold of now.
I must admit that I'm not that keen on clear versions as the injector pin marks are too visible and there is nothing you can do to sort them out.
Still, let's see this one done.

Definately-
paint some/most of it, and leave a few areas clear, to see details underneith. An underlay CF would look truely awesome. Paint the body exterior Rosso Corsa, but mask off the engine, front suspention, etc. Then, on the inside of the body, paint on (or apply SMS decal) a CF pattern, such that the CF extends 1 or 1/2 cm beyond the painted areas on the outside.
Never much liked this one done completely clear- I think it looks especially goofy with the red mirrors!
...but a cutaway!
Damnit! I want one now! :rolleyes:
